6.4.6. Advanced Search —
The System Search page allows you to search through your systems according to specific
criteria. These criteria include custom system information, system details, hardware, de-
vices, interface, networking, packages, and location. The activity selections (Days Since
Last Checkin, for instance) can be especially useful in finding and removing outdated Sys-
tem Profiles. Type the keyword, select the criterion to search by, use the radio buttons to
identify whether you wish to query all systems or only those loaded in the System Set
Manager, and click the Search button. You may also select the Invert Result checkbox
to list those systems that do not match the criteria selected.
The results appear at the bottom of the page. For details about using the resulting system
list, refer to Section 6.4.2 Systems.
6.4.7. Activation Keys —
RHN Management and Provisioning customers with the Activation Key Administrator
role (including Organization Administrators) can generate activation keys through the
RHN website. These keys can then be used to register a Red Hat Enterprise Linux
system, entitle the system to an RHN service level and subscribe the system to specific
channels and system groups through the command line utility
Section 2.5 Registering with Activation Keys for instructions on use.
Note
System-specific activation keys created through the Reactivation subtab of the System
Details page are not part of this list because they are not reusable across systems.
6.4.7.1. Managing Activation Keys
To generate an activation key:
1. Select Systems => Activation Keys from the top and left navigation bars.
2. Click the create new key link at the top-left corner.
